A letter from the creator of NEMS Linux

I'm so excited about NEMS. I feel like I've created something that needed to be created. Nagios is notoriously difficult to setup and configure, and I'm working hard to make NEMS the easiest out-of-the-box experience ever -- and one that runs on affordable hardware.

You're here with me at the start of something great. Years from now, you and I will look back and say, "Wow, it started there. I helped build this." and that's exactly what Patreon helps you to do: help me build this.

Let's do this together!

I know there are some NEMS users who simply wanted to give it a try to see what it's all about. But then there are those of us who deployed NEMS Linux for a very specific reason: to save many, many hours of work.

To the first group, I hope you'll consider becoming a Patron having found NEMS to be a great tool on your network. For the second group, I hope you'll acknowledge the time NEMS has saved you, and take this on as an expense. I'll never charge for NEMS, but Patreon lets you say "Wow, this is a great service Robbie is providing, and I want to help him do it by putting some money into it each month."

No matter your reason for being here, pick the tier you're most comfortable with, and let's make NEMS the best it can be!

Thank you!

NEMS StatusNEMS is an established product. The first release was on May 8, 2016. Since then, there have been several major releases and exciting progress to get NEMS to where it is today. Check out the changelogs to see for yourself:https://docs.nemslinux.com/changelogs

About NEMS Linux

NEMS Linux (nemslinux.com), short for Nagios Enterprise Monitoring Server, is a modern pre-configured, customized and ready-to-deploy Nagios Core image designed to run on low-cost micro computers. At its core NEMS is a lightweight Debian Linux deployment optimized for performance, reliability and ease of use.

NEMS Linux is free to download, deploy, and use. It is created by Robbie Ferguson (that's me!)--the host of Category5 Technology TV. As a free product, NEMS' development is supported by its community of users. Your patronage will help me further improve NEMS, offset the cost to operate, code, update and distribute NEMS, and even allow me to do things like purchase other SBC's to port NEMS Linux to. I also dream of being able to buy ad space to promote NEMS, and would even like to be able to afford to donate NEMS appliances to charities who could benefit from it.
